After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

Chapter 86 Nine-Turned Large Intestine

Cooking was one of Martin's strengths in his previous life.

He wasn't exactly a professional chef. Years ago, wanting to cook delicious food for his girlfriend, he took a few months of advanced training at a certain restaurant, got a certificate, opened a shop, it went bankrupt, and in the end, his girlfriend left him...

The title of "God of Food" is simply due to the lack of Chinese cuisine in the One Piece world. There are too few types of Chinese food in the One Piece world, and most of the popular dishes are Western food and seafood.

As long as he can make Chinese cuisine that has never been seen before, it will be enough to turn these chefs into country bumpkins who have never seen the world. Plus, if it tastes good, the country bumpkins will be amazed after just one bite.

"Zep, is everything ready?"

With Zeff's help, Martin put on an apron and went up to the stove.

Zeff lowered his head and said meekly, "Please invite the God of Cookery to start cooking."

He then led the applause, and Martin, like a king returning home, slowly walked onto the stage, calm and composed.

Clearly, Zeff really wanted to show off his skills to everyone in person.

It doesn't matter. As long as I can learn Armament Haki personally taught by Garp, what's wrong with cooking a few dishes?

Seeing the God of Cookery personally cooking, Garp immediately grinned, his eyes filled with anticipation, and Jinbe nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The VIPs in the audience craned their necks in anticipation, all curious about the background of this "God of Food" that Zeff had mentioned.

"Lorna, do you know Martin is the God of Cookery?"

Joel asked curiously.

"I don't know. Before we got married, he only cooked occasionally, but every time he cooked, it was incredibly delicious, and the dishes were ones he had never even seen before."

Robin answered.

Nojiko suddenly thought of something: "Jianbing Guozi?"

Nami nodded immediately: "Yes, I've eaten Martin's jianbing guozi."

Robin's eyes were deep: "Actually, I've always felt that Martin is full of mystery, and there's an urge to explore him further."

"That's one of the things that fascinates me the most; you never know what he's hiding."

Joel looked at Martin, a hint of unprecedented curiosity flashing in his deep eyes: "In that case, I'd like to try his cooking too."

Once all the ingredients were ready, Martin announced loudly, "The dish I'm making is called Dry-Fried Beef Ho Fun."

"Stir-fried beef noodles with a strong wok hei (wok aroma), the beef is tender and fragrant, and the noodles are smooth and chewy, making it incredibly delicious."

As he spoke, he began to stir-fry rice noodles.

Stir-fried beef noodles are not difficult to make, but they are not easy either. They require a good wok hei (wok aroma), and the chef needs to stir-fry the beef and rice noodles over high heat.

Over a high flame, the chef needs to vigorously toss the wok to ensure the sauce fully coats the rice noodles, allowing them to absorb the sauce evenly while remaining intact and not breaking apart during stir-frying.

The beef is tender and has a smoky aroma from being stir-fried over high heat. The accompanying greens are crisp and refreshing. The rice noodles are served on a plate without a drop of sauce, keeping the dish completely dry. Only then can you make a proper dry-fried beef rice noodle dish.

Making a delicious stir-fried beef chow fun is not simple at all. The rice noodles alone require smooth and chewy Shahe noodles to capture the essence of stir-fried beef chow fun.

This is one of Martin's signature dishes.

Zeff, holding a small notebook, kept a close eye on Martin's every move, diligently taking notes. The other chefs followed suit, also starting to record things in their own way.

The rice noodles are cooked at a very precise time; from the moment the pot boils to when they are fully cooked, it only takes a few minutes to stir-fry them.

Considering that Karp had a large appetite, Martin cooked two extra portions, which Zeff served to the table, while Zeff kept one bowl for himself.

"It smells so good! I've never seen this before. Is it delicious?"

Garp sniffed the air, then picked up his chopsticks, took a bite, and his eyes lit up. He started eating voraciously, his appetite growing rapidly. In no time, he had finished the entire plate of stir-fried beef noodles. Then, he licked the plate clean and asked, "Is there any more?"

It was delicious, but there wasn't enough of it; it felt like not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

I've eaten many delicious things in my life, but compared to this stir-fried beef noodles, it's nothing.

After Jinbe ate it, his eyes lit up, and his large, fat fish-man body trembled with excitement at the delicious taste: "You humans are truly skillful! Before I tasted this dish, I thought that only sashimi was the most delicious thing ever..."

He slowly stood up and said, "Only after eating this stir-fried beef noodles have I realized what delicious food is. The texture is smooth and the flavor is rich."

"Greetings, God of Cookery Martin."

Jinbe simply bowed at a 90-degree angle with his thick body, as a sign of respect for food and the God of Food.

As soon as he stood up and bowed, Garp took action, snatching the plate in front of Jin from his own hands in an instant. He then quickly devoured the stir-fried beef noodles on the plate, licking his lips as if he wanted more.

Jinbe's wide, fish-like eyes stared: "You..."

Zhepu, holding a plate, slowly savored the food, revealing an expression of extreme enjoyment. Then, tears streamed down his face: "This is the second time I've had stir-fried rice noodles, and it's so amazing! The rice noodles are even thinner and more transparent, with a smooth and chewy texture. After absorbing the sauce and the aroma of the beef, they are incredibly fragrant, chewy, and delicious."

"Moreover, the stir-fried beef noodles have both beef and vegetables, paired with chewy and soft rice noodles. The combination is nutritious and absolutely amazing!!!"

Sanji stepped forward, took the opportunity to use his chopsticks to pick up Zeff's rice noodles and eat them. His eyes widened in disbelief: "It's... amazingly delicious."

"This tastes amazing!"

"The rice noodles are soft, chewy, and smooth, and the beef is also extremely tender and flavorful with a unique aroma."

He took another bite and couldn't help but shed tears.

I never imagined there could be such delicious food in the world, it's simply unbelievable!

The chefs followed suit, rushing to Zhepu and devouring the rice noodles and beef, each displaying an expression of utter astonishment.

The look in Martin's eyes was filled with horror.

“I once competed with the God of Cookery in cooking. Rice noodles were a dish he taught me. The God of Cookery can not only make stir-fried beef rice noodles, but also make some dishes that I have never made before. His research on food is like that of a god.”

Zeff praised.

Upon witnessing the culinary master's skillful execution, the VIPs erupted in cheers, whispering amongst themselves and revealing expressions of longing.

Is it really delicious?

We'd like to try it too.

"Honey, give us some to eat."

"Martin, don't forget us."

Martin simply divided the remaining rice noodles in the pot among his two wives, and their expressions changed drastically as they ate them.

This is so...so delicious!

Nami and Nojiko, the two sisters, slurped up a mouthful of noodles and their eyes widened in amazement: "This stir-fried beef noodles smell so good!"

The two children immediately devoured the remaining beef noodles, and when Joel tried to eat a few more bites, he found the plate had already been licked clean.

Martin looked at Garp: "Vice Admiral Garp, you should have taught me how to use Armament Haki by now."

As a result, Garp closed his eyes and started snoring, with huge snot bubbles coming out of his nose.

Are you asleep?

Well, this is also one of Garp's abilities: he can sleep anywhere and enter a sleep state in a second.

But what does it mean to be asleep now?

Where's the Armament Haki you promised me?

Killing intent!

Martin looked directly at Karp with a sharp gaze.

Sure enough, Garp's snot bubble burst, and he opened his eyes with a start.

As one of the world's top martial arts masters, he could naturally sense that chilling killing intent.

"Huh? Who's emitting such murderous intent..."

Garp's Observation Haki enveloped the entire area, but the killing intent he had sensed had vanished without a trace.

"Mr. Garp, you should have taught me Armament Haki by now."

Martin asked again.

"Domineering? I can't teach you that. I didn't get my fill just now. You have to let me eat for three days first. No, not three days... How about you become my ship's cook? I'll teach you after three months of cooking."

As he spoke, the old man picked his nose, giving us a look that said, "You think you can fool us?"

Good heavens, three days of food wasn't enough, you also want me to be your ship's cook for three months.

This is clearly an attempt to renege on the debt.

What kind of naval hero are you?

They have absolutely no sense of martial ethics.

No wonder your son and grandson are such troublemakers; it turns out their upbringing comes from you.

I'm a married man, I don't have time to spend with you for several months. Even if I did, whether or not I let her go would still be up to you.

You disrespectful old man, you need to be taught a lesson today.

Let me show you the wrath of the God of Cookery!

Martin is very bold. He knows Garp's temper. He once dared to kill someone in front of Shanks, one of the future Four Emperors.

Today, they dare to mess with the other party right in front of Garp.

Who told this old man to be so uncivilized?

If we're talking about disregarding martial ethics, who can compare to Master Ma?

Martin smiled broadly: "Mr. Karp, I can tell you really enjoy my cooking. I also have one of my signature dishes here for you to try."

"This famous dish is called 'Nine-Turned Intestines'!"

……

"Nine-Turned Intestines!"

What kind of dish is that?

"This name sounds unfamiliar."

Kap immediately became interested.

The distinguished guests present also showed puzzled expressions. Everyone present was a prominent figure in Donghai, and they had tasted all kinds of delicacies.

They've eaten and seen almost everything—things that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the sea.
